The Home of: "PHYLLIS DIETRICHSON"

6301 Quebec Dr., Los Angeles, CA

This home on a quiet street in Beachwood Canyon above Hollywood is where Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) planned to kill her husband (Tom Powers) and collect on his life insurance policy written up by the luckless Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), in the seminal film noir Double Indemnity (1944).

Phyllis, Walter and Dietrichson supposedly inside the home but, of course, in reality on a sound stage at Paramount Pictures.

About Me

For six years I was as an associate editor with www.allmovie.com, specializing in classic Hollywood B-Films. In my spare time, I published "Strangers in Hollywood" (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow press, 1994) and "Vixens Floozies and Molls" (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co., 1999 & 2003). I'm retired now but I still watch B-Movies and this site is a personal outlet for my extant review cravings. But feel free to comment on my comments.
